Two cases of bird flu have been confirmed in Jersey.
A couple of common buzzards who died earlier this month have tested positive.
They were tested as part of the Infrastructure, Housing, and Environment department's surveillance programme.
One of the birds tested positive for H5 highly pathogenic Avian Influenza A. The other one also tested positive for that, but the government says 'typing' hasn't been possible.
80 cases have been confirmed in England in recent months.
There have also been a high number of outbreaks in France.
Chief Vet Alistair Breed says while it's very disappointing that it's been identified in Jersey, it's not entirely surprising given those recent outbreaks in the UK and France.
"It is now even more important that bird keepers follow good biosecurity principles to prevent contact with wild birds, and house their birds if possible."
They're now being encouraged to register their flocks with the government to make sure they receive Avian Influenza updates.
Flocks of over 30 birds are already required to be registered in the island.
The UK Health Security Agency says the risk to public health is low.
People are advised not to handle unwell or dead wild birds.
